Katharina Heidebrecht, b.11/9/1812 in Lichtenau, Molotschna, South Russia. (The Heydebrecht book calls her "Catarina," but the 1835 Molotschna Census entry calls her "Margaretha." Her birth entry at Unruh, p.332, calls her "Catarina"! I am assuming her name is Katharina. However, the family record for son David in the Pueblo M.B. Church records calls her "Margaretha.")
